Cops are among the easiest people to spook. They're like bunny rabbits, but with guns.

Other triggers include

removing something from a pocket especially when asked
being brown
running, for any reason
Owning a dog
not being white

There's a whole cottage industry around training cops to believe they have the most dangerous job on the planet, and everyone is trying to kill them. Having been deployed to a warzone several times myself, we were NEVER taught to be as scared of normal people as police are.

The training is called "killology," and I'm not dumb enough to have come up with that name myself.

Agree on all points. LMAO! May I ask a favor? Can you tell me if you can see this comment? I have a sneaky suspicion something is wrong with my account.
